To provide an example of what I described under the heading "A provisional solution", I link to one of lukeprog's articles, "Scientific Self-Help: The State of Our Knowledge". I do not take credit for any of his work.

[Advice] lukeprog shows in this article how to obtain valuable self-help advice and provides three simple examples with notes on happiness, study methods and productivity. Link: http://lesswrong.com/lw/3nn/scientific_selfhelp_the_state_of_our_knowledge/
